Martial Artist Tips and Tricks
Many Martial Artists will use weapons, then switch to Martial Artist attacks. Some other professions do this as well, at the cost of being able to equip weapons that are more powerful than they can equip immediately
In a sense, Martial Artists do have weapons - to perform their attacks, they need to acquire and keep in their inventory, the Martial Arts attack items. All attacks lock an attack skill, usually Martial Arts, but few require only Martial Arts.
Attacks[edit]
Some of the books are bought in stores. The Temple of the Three Winds books are turned in to the Hermit, who can be found at /waypoint 827, 2298, 647 (static, Tir Desert, Greater Tir County). She is inside a ring of stone which can only be entered from the West side. She says she is well versed in the ancient languages, and can help you with the books you find in the temple. She is looking for Ape Fist of Khalum, Tree of Enlightenment, and Karmic Fist Book. When you bring her the completed books you will receive special Martial Arts attacks. The Karmic Fist is located in the Inner Sanctum.
